Regret is not a proactive feeling. It is situated in disappointment, sorrow, even remorse. It merely wishes things were different without an act to cause a difference. However, repentance is different. Repentance is an admission of, hatred of, and turning away from sin before God.

A Christian's celebration of Christmas should be a lot different from that of nonbelievers.

Though monetary compensation may never add up, teachers can rest assured that they are important.

God is being taken out of schools; children are not being raised in church learning the word; many parents are living lives unto themselves, exalting substance rather than Jesus Christ, and those looking for answers are going to church and finding the word is not being preached. There are consequences to these decisions.

Somehow many have fallen into the belief that being a Christian is supposed to be a cake-walk. It's not.

God is so unique in giving His people ways to fellowship, witness, and remember what a mighty and merciful God He is.

Doing your own thing' and being a Christian is an oxymoron. As Christians, every day we need to be presenting ourselves before the Lord, thanking Him for His mercy and asking Him to make us more like Him by emptying us of our will, so God's will can be done.

Parents are to be respected - it Is a commandment from God.

Holiness through Christ's Spirit is the accountability every Christian should be striving towards.

It's a shame that so many people are so intimidated and bothered by Tim Tebow's stance as a Christian. He's not bothering anybody. He's simply being who He is and giving all glory to His Lord.

Some people don't know when to stop talking.

Give up pride for good during the holidays. This is where I've been especially stubborn. As I walk more and more in this path of Christianity, I see that letting my guard down and admitting that I don't want to be alone is far better than dealing with me, myself and I, who always seem to want to keep up appearances.
